Thousands of law enforcement officers are stationed in American schools — and they're a key part of the "school-to-prison pipeline," which places students into the criminal justice system for matters of school discipline.
It started in the 90s, when schools began responding to rising crime rates with zero-tolerance policies. There were originally put in place to stop weapons and drugs from entering schools and to prevent tragedies like Columbine—these policies extended beyond to include smaller infractions such as uniform violations, talking back, insubordination, etc.
Schools in Oakland, California are exploring new ways to break the school-to-prison pipeline. These schools practice restorative justice where both parties talk out their issues instead of administrators suspending or expelling students.

Ben Mankiewicz (What TheFlick?) and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss the school to prison pipeline, and the consequences on the young people who’s futures are now limited by they’re criminal record.
"For those unfamiliar with Baltimore City's particular brand of justice, it has been an up-close primer on how things are done in a city whose police force is now under a full-fledged Department of Justice investigation. Not just over the death of Freddie Gray in police custody which prompted protests across the city and a criminal investigation, but how the criminal justice responded to the strife and what it may have done in the past to precipitate this unrest.
Protesters have been held without charges for days. Innocent people arrested. And in an exclusive report by The Real News, two weeks before the violence erupted and thrust Baltimore onto the world stage, documents revealed juveniles were arrested for simply not getting on a bus. In short, Baltimore's aggressive policing and heavy emphasis on incarceration has been unrelenting, even as the world watched."

When a kid gets in trouble at school, we used to send them to the principal's office. Now, we're suspending, expelling or even arresting kids for the smallest misbehaviors. This trend is called the School-To-Prison pipeline. WATCH MORE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjGoekJfrgY&list=PLQ9B-p5Q-YOOB3eYHFnysjca8RxgUQ9mH&index=3

There are school to prison pipelines all across the country. Nationwide, as many as 95 percent of out-of-school suspensions are for nonviolent misbehaviors like these.
In one town, the cops were called to break up a fight -a water balloon fight. When you crack down harshly on kids for minor infractions, you're telling them one thing: You Are A Problem.
Suspending or expelling a kid increases his or her chance to drop out of high school, and we know high school dropouts are 3.5 times more likely than high school graduates to be arrested in their lifetime.
Sending a kid to juvenile detention center also makes crime more likely in their future. Kids who are incarcerated are 67 percent more likely to be back in jail by the age of 25 than similar kids who didn't go to prison.
This zero tolerance policy doesn't apply to everyone equally. In Wake County North Carolina, which has one of the largest School-To-Prison Pipelines, 40 percent of black kids caught with cell phones were suspended -while only 17 percent of white kids were suspended for the same thing.
Though Blacks and Latinos only make up 29% of the public school students, they make up 70% of students involved in in-school arrests, or who are referred to law enforcement.
Schools even crack down on special needs students -arresting them for the very behaviors that stem from their special needs. 32 percent of youth in juvenile detention are special needs students.
That's the School to PrisonPipeline! Another way that the United States incarcerates more people than any other country on earth.

In the United States, two institutions guide teenagers on the journey to adulthood: college and prison. Sociologist Alice Goffman spent six years in a troubled Philadelphia neighborhood and saw first-hand how teenagers of African-American and Latino backgrounds are funneled down the path to prison — sometimes starting with relatively minor infractions. In an impassioned talk she asks, “Why are we offering only handcuffs and jail time?”

To end the violence there must be radical reform of the school and prison moderated by Marc Steiner

Extremely harsh discipline policies throughout the country are pushing larges numbers of youth—mostly minorities— out of school and into prison. Many of these laws criminalize normal youth behavior that should be dealt with in a school disciplinary process.
We produced a series of videos with the Advancement Project and its local partners in Denver, Miami, and Philadelphia, to help them mobilize their communities to fight against zero tolerance, and to persuade legislators to end the school to prison pipeline. This video is being used to push for reform in the Miami legislature and to mobilize parents and youth throughout Florida to fight against zero tolerance.

In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary and secondary education. Kindergarten or pre-school provide some schooling to very young children (typically ages 3–5). University, vocational school, college or seminary may be available after secondary school. A school may also be dedicated to one particular field, such as a school of economics or a school of dance. Alternative schools may provide nontraditional curriculum and methods.

Back in the day, when you got in trouble at school, it usually meant you were heading off to the principal's office or to detention. These days? Getting in trouble at school can mean ending up in the juvenile justice system. But how does that happen and who does it affect?

Ben Mankiewicz (What TheFlick?) and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss the school to prison pipeline, and the consequences on the young people who’s futures are now limited by they’re criminal record.
"For those unfamiliar with Baltimore City's particular brand of justice, it has been an up-close primer on how things are done in a city whose police force is now under a full-fledged Department of Justice investigation. Not just over the death of Freddie Gray in police custody which prompted protests across the city and a criminal investigation, but how the criminal justice responded to the strife and what it may have done in the past to precipitate this unrest.
Protesters have been held without charges for days. Innocent people arrested. And in an exclusive report by The Real News, two weeks before the violence erupted and thrust Baltimore onto the world stage, documents revealed juveniles were arrested for simply not getting on a bus. In short, Baltimore's aggressive policing and heavy emphasis on incarceration has been unrelenting, even as the world watched."

When a kid gets in trouble at school, we used to send them to the principal's office. Now, we're suspending, expelling or even arresting kids for the smallest misbehaviors.

LIKE us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BNFJustice
There are school to prison pipelines all across the country. Nationwide, as many as 95 percent of out-of-school suspensions are for nonviolent misbehaviors like these.
In one town, the cops were called to break up a fight -a water balloon fight. When you crack down harshly on kids for minor infractions, you're telling them one thing: You Are A Problem.
Suspending or expelling a kid increases his or her chance to drop out of high school, and we know high school dropouts are 3.5 times more likely than high school graduates to be arrested in their lifetime.
Sending a kid to juvenile detention center also makes crime more likely in their future. Kids who are incarcerated are 67 percent more likely to be back in jail by the age of 25 than similar kids who didn't go to prison.
This zero tolerance policy doesn't apply to everyone equally. In Wake County North Carolina, which has one of the largest School-To-Prison Pipelines, 40 percent of black kids caught with cell phones were suspended -while only 17 percent of white kids were suspended for the same thing.
Though Blacks and Latinos only make up 29% of the public school students, they make up 70% of students involved in in-school arrests, or who are referred to law enforcement.
Schools even crack down on special needs students -arresting them for the very behaviors that stem from their special needs. 32 percent of youth in juvenile detention are special needs students.
That's the School to PrisonPipeline! Another way that the United States incarcerates more people than any other country on earth.

In the United States, two institutions guide teenagers on the journey to adulthood: college and prison. Sociologist Alice Goffman spent six years in a troubled Philadelphia neighborhood and saw first-hand how teenagers of African-American and Latino backgrounds are funneled down the path to prison — sometimes starting with relatively minor infractions. In an impassioned talk she asks, “Why are we offering only handcuffs and jail time?”

Extremely harsh discipline policies throughout the country are pushing larges numbers of youth—mostly minorities— out of school and into prison. Many of these laws criminalize normal youth behavior that should be dealt with in a school disciplinary process.
We produced a series of videos with the Advancement Project and its local partners in Denver, Miami, and Philadelphia, to help them mobilize their communities to fight against zero tolerance, and to persuade legislators to end the school to prison pipeline. This video is being used to push for reform in the Miami legislature and to mobilize parents and youth throughout Florida to fight against zero tolerance.

Mapping the School to Prison Pipeline

Do you want to fully understand how the school-to-prison pipeline operates cyclically and how a student's suspension can lead to involvement with law enforcement and stalled social mobility?
Tia Martinez, ForwardChange Consulting, and Sarah Omojola, Public Counsel and FixSchoolDiscipline.org, present "Mapping the School-to-Prison Pipeline." This webinar will answer your questions about how out-of-school punishments can result in involvement with the criminal justice system, have health implications, and contribute to intergenerational poverty. This webinar uses data to provide a unique and detailed picture of how students and communities, especially those of color, are affected by punitive education policies.

Discussing the School to Prison Pipeline with Jason Edgar

www.bittermedicineblogs.com -- Today’s episode discusses the shift in recent years, within our education system, away from traditional disciplinary actions (counseling, detention etc.) when students misbehave in school, to suspensions, expulsions, and law enforcement to punish students. Children are actually being arrested and removed from schools for minor discretions, at alarming rates around the country. However, all children are not receiving these punishments equally: Race differences are present.
Many reasons are often proposed by the dominant society, and usually those reasons exclude racial bias as a cause. Some claim school safety is the reason, after the Columbine shootings in 1999; some claim the increased level of punishment is to rid the schools of bad performers, so as to im...

Possibilities for Interrupting the School-to-Prison Pipeline

In 2014, school administrators received a “Dear Colleague Letter” from the US Dept of Justice and the US Dept of Education highlighting racial disproportionality in school discipline. The letter calls for schools to begin addressing the excessive use of suspensions and expulsions and suggests that restorative justice might be one alternative to exclusionary discipline. According to educational researcher, Ann Gregory, disproportionality in school discipline is related to a lack of cultural responsiveness in classrooms, as well as things like implicit bias, negative stereotypes, and low expectations. She suggests that building healthy relationships with students might “interrupt” some of those factors, building trust, understanding...

Children are actually being arrested and removed from schools for minor discretions, at alarming rates around the country.

Some claim school safety is the reason, after the Columbine shootings in 1999; some claim the increased level of punishment is to rid the schools of bad performers, so as to improve school stats etc., but how can these be the reasons when mostly Black children are being affected?
Statistics show (PBS: https://goo.gl/UBQ7SM) 40% of students expelled each year are black; 70% of in-school arrests are Black & Latino students; Black students are 3.5 times more likely to be suspended than whites for the SAME offences; and Black & Latino students are twice as likely not o graduate high school than white students. Add to this that Black & Latino people make up 61% of the prison population, while only making up 30% of the U.S. population; that 1 out 3 Black males, and 1 out of 6 Latino males will be incarcerated in their lifetime.
From these statistics alone, it is not hard to see that the criminalizing of Black, and even Latino, children in the school system is leading them to prison. We discuss more on the why, how, and what we can do in our community to remedy this situation. Listen to learn more.

The letter calls for schools to begin addressing the excessive use of suspensions and expulsions and suggests that restorative justice might be one alternative to exclusionary discipline. According to educational researcher, Ann Gregory, disproportionality in school discipline is related to a lack of cultural responsiveness in classrooms, as well as things like implicit bias, negative stereotypes, and low expectations. She suggests that building healthy relationships with students might “interrupt” some of those factors, building trust, understanding, and cultural awareness. Restorative justice practices are built on those assumptions. In her 2013 research, Gregory found that implementing restorative practices in school increased the likelihood that students felt respected by their teachers and decreased the disparity gap in school discipline.
In this webinar, Carl Stauffer, Kathy Evans and Johonna Turner from Eastern Mennonite University, will discuss Restorative Justice in Education and examine the ways in which the implementation of restorative justice in school settings can address racial disproportionality and interrupt the cradle to prison pipeline.

Thousands of law enforcement officers are stationed in American schools — and they're a key part of the "school-to-prison pipeline," which places students into the criminal justice system for matters of school discipline.
It started in the 90s, when schools began responding to rising crime rates with zero-tolerance policies. There were originally put in place to stop weapons and drugs from entering schools and to prevent tragedies like Columbine—these policies extended beyond to include smaller infractions such as uniform violations, talking back, insubordination, etc.
Schools in Oakland, California are exploring new ways to break the school-to-prison pipeline. These schools practice restorative justice where both parties talk out their issues instead of administrators suspending or expelling students.

Back in the day, when you got in trouble at school, it usually meant you were heading off to the principal's office or to detention. These days? Getting in trouble at school can mean ending up in the juvenile justice system. But how does that happen and who does it affect?

Stuck In The School-To-Prison Pipeline

Getting into trouble as a kid is easy. But if the punishment is juvenile hall or probation, getting out isn't so simple. The CARE program (Center for Academic Re-Entry and Empowerment) focuses on at-risk youth and aims to give them the self-worth they need to pull themselves up.

School To Prison Pipeline Robs Young People Of Their Future

Watch the full AJ+ clip here: https://goo.gl/Zsu1CP.
Ben Mankiewicz (What TheFlick?) and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss the school to prison pipeline, and the consequences on the young people who’s futures are now limited by they’re criminal record.
"For those unfamiliar with Baltimore City's particular brand of justice, it has been an up-close primer on how things are done in a city whose police force is now under a full-fledged Department of Justice investigation. Not just over the death of Freddie Gray in police custody which prompted protests across the city and a criminal investigation, but how the criminal justice responded to the strife and what it may have done in the past to precipitate this unrest.
Protesters have been held without charges for days. Innocent people arrested. And in an exclusive report by The Real News, two weeks before the violence erupted and thrust Baltimore onto the world stage, documents revealed juveniles were arrested for simply not getting on a bus. In short, Baltimore's aggressive policing and heavy emphasis on incarceration has been unrelenting, even as the world watched."

How The School to Prison Pipeline Ruins Lives Before They Start • BRAVE NEW FILMS: JUSTICE #2

When a kid gets in trouble at school, we used to send them to the principal's office. Now, we're suspending, expelling or even arresting kids for the smallest misbehaviors. This trend is called the School-To-Prison pipeline. WATCH MORE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjGoekJfrgY&list=PLQ9B-p5Q-YOOB3eYHFnysjca8RxgUQ9mH&index=3

There are school to prison pipelines all across the country. Nationwide, as many as 95 percent of out-of-school suspensions are for nonviolent misbehaviors like these.
In one town, the cops were called to break up a fight -a water balloon fight. When you crack down harshly on kids for minor infractions, you're telling them one thing: You Are A Problem.
Suspending or expelling a kid increases his or her chance to drop out of high school, and we know high school dropouts are 3.5 times more likely than high school graduates to be arrested in their lifetime.
Sending a kid to juvenile detention center also makes crime more likely in their future. Kids who are incarcerated are 67 percent more likely to be back in jail by the age of 25 than similar kids who didn't go to prison.
This zero tolerance policy doesn't apply to everyone equally. In Wake County North Carolina, which has one of the largest School-To-Prison Pipelines, 40 percent of black kids caught with cell phones were suspended -while only 17 percent of white kids were suspended for the same thing.
Though Blacks and Latinos only make up 29% of the public school students, they make up 70% of students involved in in-school arrests, or who are referred to law enforcement.
Schools even crack down on special needs students -arresting them for the very behaviors that stem from their special needs. 32 percent of youth in juvenile detention are special needs students.
That's the School to PrisonPipeline! Another way that the United States incarcerates more people than any other country on earth.

Alice Goffman: How we're priming some kids for college — and others for prison

In the United States, two institutions guide teenagers on the journey to adulthood: college and prison. Sociologist Alice Goffman spent six years in a troubled Philadelphia neighborhood and saw first-hand how teenagers of African-American and Latino backgrounds are funneled down the path to prison — sometimes starting with relatively minor infractions. In an impassioned talk she asks, “Why are we offering only handcuffs and jail time?”

Ending the School to Prison Pipeline - Miami

Extremely harsh discipline policies throughout the country are pushing larges numbers of youth—mostly minorities— out of school and into prison. Many of these laws criminalize normal youth behavior that should be dealt with in a school disciplinary process.
We produced a series of videos with the Advancement Project and its local partners in Denver, Miami, and Philadelphia, to help them mobilize their communities to fight against zero tolerance, and to persuade legislators to end the school to prison pipeline. This video is being used to push for reform in the Miami legislature and to mobilize parents and youth throughout Florida to fight against zero tolerance.

Mapping the School to Prison Pipeline

Do you want to fully understand how the school-to-prison pipeline operates cyclically and how a student's suspension can lead to involvement with law enforcement and stalled social mobility?
Tia Martinez, ForwardChange Consulting, and Sarah Omojola, Public Counsel and FixSchoolDiscipline.org, present "Mapping the School-to-Prison Pipeline." This webinar will answer your questions about how out-of-school punishments can result in involvement with the criminal justice system, have health implications, and contribute to intergenerational poverty. This webinar uses data to provide a unique and detailed picture of how students and communities, especially those of color, are affected by punitive education policies.

Discussing the School to Prison Pipeline with Jason Edgar

www.bittermedicineblogs.com -- Today’s episode discusses the shift in recent years, within our education system, away from traditional disciplinary actions (counseling, detention etc.) when students misbehave in school, to suspensions, expulsions, and law enforcement to punish students. Children are actually being arrested and removed from schools for minor discretions, at alarming rates around the country. However, all children are not receiving these punishments equally: Race differences are present.
Many reasons are often proposed by the dominant society, and usually those reasons exclude racial bias as a cause. Some claim school safety is the reason, after the Columbine shootings in 1999; some claim the increased level of punishment is to rid the schools of bad performers, so as to improve school stats etc., but how can these be the reasons when mostly Black children are being affected?
Statistics show (PBS: https://goo.gl/UBQ7SM) 40% of students expelled each year are black; 70% of in-school arrests are Black & Latino students; Black students are 3.5 times more likely to be suspended than whites for the SAME offences; and Black & Latino students are twice as likely not o graduate high school than white students. Add to this that Black & Latino people make up 61% of the prison population, while only making up 30% of the U.S. population; that 1 out 3 Black males, and 1 out of 6 Latino males will be incarcerated in their lifetime.
From these statistics alone, it is not hard to see that the criminalizing of Black, and even Latino, children in the school system is leading them to prison. We discuss more on the why, how, and what we can do in our community to remedy this situation. Listen to learn more.

Possibilities for Interrupting the School-to-Prison Pipeline

September 8, 2015 | Guests: KathyEvans and Johonna Turner
In 2014, school administrators received a “Dear Colleague Letter” from the US Dept of Justice and the US Dept of Education highlighting racial disproportionality in school discipline. The letter calls for schools to begin addressing the excessive use of suspensions and expulsions and suggests that restorative justice might be one alternative to exclusionary discipline. According to educational researcher, Ann Gregory, disproportionality in school discipline is related to a lack of cultural responsiveness in classrooms, as well as things like implicit bias, negative stereotypes, and low expectations. She suggests that building healthy relationships with students might “interrupt” some of those factors, building trust, understanding, and cultural awareness. Restorative justice practices are built on those assumptions. In her 2013 research, Gregory found that implementing restorative practices in school increased the likelihood that students felt respected by their teachers and decreased the disparity gap in school discipline.
In this webinar, Carl Stauffer, Kathy Evans and Johonna Turner from Eastern Mennonite University, will discuss Restorative Justice in Education and examine the ways in which the implementation of restorative justice in school settings can address racial disproportionality and interrupt the cradle to prison pipeline.
